Computer models show Eta, which could become a hurricane again, making landfall early Thursday north of Tampa. Several Central Florida counties are under tropical storm warnings and watches.

Lake, Marion and Sumter counties are under a tropical storm warning and can expect 2-4 inches of rain over the next couple of days, with winds gusting to 45-55 mph.

“The good news is that it will move in and out fairly quickly,” News 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said. “We’ll see the impacts Thursday, all day, but then things are much better.”

For Central Florida’s inland counties, Orange, Osceola, Polk and Seminole, there’s a low possibility of a spin-up tornado as Eta pushes through Florida. Winds will gust from 30-45 mph, with 1-3 inches or rain possible.

Coastal zones, including Brevard, Flagler and Volusia counties, will see 1-3 inches of rain, with minor flooding and beach erosion possible. Winds will be 30-40 mph.

“High seas will also be a concern,” Bridges said.
